He gets continuously hunted by his enemies and the police. The most dangerous of his hunters is the secret organization named Volunteer Fire Department (VFD). When he was a small child, he was kidnapped and forcefully inducted in the VFD as a neophyte. During his stay in the organization, he was trained in rhetoric and was continuously sent on quite pointless missions, due to which all the connections from his personal life were severed.

He fell in love with Beatrice after meeting her for the first time in the organization and had decided to marry her eventually.
